Bossier parish is large enoug

Bossier parish is large enough
and possesses sufficient natural re-
sources to support many times the
number of inhabitants she now has.
A large portion of her soil is very
rich, and we'll adapted to the pro-
duction Of cotton and all kinds of
cereals, fruits and vegetables. She
offers a large and lucrative field for
farming and the establishment of
many and various industries. All
that is needed is the immigration of
desirable settlers, and to gain them
it behooves our citizens to exert
themselves and induce people to
make Bossier parish their home.

tits proposed to establish cotton
factory at Shreveport. That is
right. It will add to the population
of that city; it will give employ
ment to those who now have no
work; it will multiply the value of
the cotton consumed, and it will
make money for the stockholders
With good management from the
start, the cotton factory cannot fail
to pay.

The entertaining of low stand

it ls the best policy aud the wrong
doer will be found out.

Very many opinions are held in
this world touching the thing one
hears talked about as Poetry. With
this one rhyme is poetry, with the
second fervOr, with the third excla
nation points, with the fourth un-
continues and ruggedness, with the
fifth sombre strain, half indisposi.
ton and half melancholy; but to the
few poetry can not be better de-
scribed than the old Scotch baronet,
who could not even read, described
it when there was read to him by
his daughter, in "Aytoun's Lays Of
the Scottish Cavaliers" this martial
verse:
ga traitor sold him to his foes;
Oh! deed of deathless shame
charge thee, boy, if e'er thou meet
With one of Assynt's name
Be 1t upon the mountains side,
Or yet within the glen,
Stand he in martial gear alone,
Or backed by armed men,
Face HIM as thou wouldst face the man
Who wronged thy sire's renown;
Remember of what blood thou art,
And strike the caitiff down."
"Ah! jamie, jamie" he said, tread
thatagain, jamie, my child. l have
such queer feeling about my back.
It appears as if something hot were
running up it, and / am warm all
over.n
What the old Highlander meant,
no doubt, was the increased circula-
ton of his blood under the bugle
notes almost of the poets thrilling
story of the "Execution of Mont
rose,7 but whatever he meant, he
knesc that be had heard poetry.
